himself is the noblest victor.

He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty.

Ten Differences between
a Winner and a Loser1 |
Winner |
Loser |
Makes mistakes and
says: 'I was wrong' |
Says: 'It wasn't my
fault' |
Credits his good luck
for winning even though it wasn't luck |
Credits his bad luck
for losing, though it wasn't luck |
Works harder and has
more time |
Is always 'too busy',
too busy staying at failure |
Goes through a problem |
Goes around a problem |
Shows he's sorry by
making up for it |
Says he's sorry but he
does the same thing next time |
Knows what to fight for
and what to compromise on |
Compromises on what he
should not and wastes time with trivial matters |
Says: 'I'm good, but
not so good as I ought to be'. Looks up to where he is going. |
Says: 'I'm not as bad
as a lot of people'. Looks down at those who've not yet achieved the
position he has. |
Respects those who are
superior to him and tries to learn from them |
Resents those who are
superior to him and tries to find fault |
Responsible for more
than his job |
Says: "I only work
here" |
Says: 'There ought to
be a better way of doing this' |
Says: 'Why change it?
That's the way it's always been done' |
Winners versus Losers |
The Winner is always a part of the solution;
The Loser is always a part of
the problem.
The Winner always has a
program;
The Loser always has an
excuse.
The Winner says, "Let me do it
for you;"
The Loser says, "That's not my
job."
The Winner sees an answer for
every problem;
The Loser sees a problem in
every answer.
The Winner says, "It may be
difficult but it's possible;"
The Loser says, "It may be possible but it's too
difficult." |

Winner Defined
You are a winner if you keep achieving
your stretch goals
and are happy in
your own skin.
A Win is a Win-Win
"The winners stun us not by their cleverness,
but by the fact that every tiny aspect of the business is just a touch
better than the norm." - Tim Peters
Things work
out best for those who make the best of the way the things work out.
Changing Yourself
The best place to start is to change yourself. If whatever
you do doesn't work, you must be flexible
- you must change your action plan if the current one does not produce the
required results.
If you want other people to change, you must be
prepared to make the first step yourself. If you cannot change your
environment, you should change your attitude...More
Success is 99% Failure
To err is human. If there is no mistake, there
is no initiative. Not to admit a mistake or a
failure is a sign of weakness.
Remember always the
NLP presupposition: "There is no failure, only
feedback." Through
mistakes to success - that's really what experience means. Mistakes can be
your most effective teacher.
"Just like a great building stands on a strong foundation, so does
success.
And the foundation of success is attitude."
